      As a child, I loved making origami, and I think origami lends itself naturally to studying geometry, so I love the idea of turning making origami into a math lesson. This is a really good whole-group activity because it allows everyone to follow along and be interested in what is going on.  It is especially nice for ELLs because by seeing you work on your box simultaneously through the projector, these students are not as restricted by the language barrier.

    The students use card stock to fold origami shapes and make a box, and they will then estimate the volume of the box.  They will test their hypotheses by counting how many marbles, etc. fit in the box after it is complete.  The lesson also incorporates identification of geometric shapes.

      MA.2.4.4 2000 Identify congruent two-dimensional shapes in any position. Extension:  Teacher can read "If I Were A Quadrilateral" By: Molly Blaisdail Adaptations: Students can use tangrams to observe the differences between each of the parallelograms.  This gives them the opportunity to feel the shape and look at it from a 3D perspective.

      MA.2.4.1 2000 Construct squares, rectangles, triangles, cubes, and rectangular prisms with appropriate materials. MA.2.4.3 2000 Investigate and predict the result of putting together and taking apart two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Extension: The following day, the teacher can place one of the 3D shapes into a paper bag and have students come up one by one and feel the shape in the bag, describe it, and make a final guess of what the shape is. Adaption:  Students who have trouble focusing and retaining information can have a key or sheet to reference that describes each of the shapes (sides, vertices, classification...etc)

      2.MD.1 Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.

      I really like the idea of the measure hunt because it gives the students a fun activity to move around with and explore the classroom.  Also, ability level doesn't really play a large part in this activity because the emphasis is on practicing measuring, not just doing it right the first time.  This gives struggling students a chance to practice their measuring skills in order to cement this knowledge in their minds.

      This activity could be adapted so that rather than individual students playing against each other, groups could play the game competitively.  This would take pressure off of those students who are not as fluent in their math facts as others.  It also makes it less stressful for individual students.

    The classic card game, war, is adapted to multiplication practice.

      Students who struggle more with this more challenging activity could have more time to plan and view pictures of actual bridges with the teacher pointing out the structural elements and geometric shapes on these bridges.

      Geoboards are used to make polygons, angles, and lines. All students, including ELL and low performing students, benefit from the hands on construction of different figures. Allows for lots of repetition.

      Expansion: For older or particularly adept students, this could be a mental math game.  Students could be asked to flip over cards from a tens pile and a ones pile to allow for double digit numbers.

      ENL: Increased repetition of mathematical phrasing will give them practice with the vocaularly.  Students could be required to say the entire percentage phrase, for example "50% of 10 is 5," in order to earn their card.

    Practice percentages in this competitive card game! Race to calculate the answer as cards are flipped over. For each correct answer you give, you'll earn a card. Whoever earns the most cards, wins!
